The description focuses on the hardware and basic image capture/display functionality. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing beyond display, or any analysis of the image data by the device itself.
No
The device is described as an endoscopic diagnosis tool used for visualization, indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "ATMOS Scope is used for endoscopic diagnosis." The "Device Description" also mentions it is "for endoscopic diagnosis" and "The endoscopic image is used for visual diagnostics by the user."
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a handle, flexible steerable part, deflection lever, integrated LED light sources, image sensor, and electronics built into the handle. It is an electrical device with mechanical components for manipulation and image capture.
Based on the provided information, the ATMOS Scope is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "endoscopic diagnosis within the nasal lumens and airway anatomy" and to "provide visualization via a monitor." This describes a device used for direct visualization of internal body structures.
- Device Description: The description details a flexible endoscope with a camera and light source for generating a digital image of the anatomy. This is consistent with an endoscopic device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis. The ATMOS Scope is used inside the body for direct visualization.
Therefore, the ATMOS Scope falls under the category of an endoscopic device for direct visualization, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
ATMOS Scope is used for endoscopic diagnosis within the nasal lumens and airway anatomy and is intended to provide visualization via a monitor. The ATMOS Scope may only be used by persons with an appropriate medical qualification and who are acquainted with the rhino/laryngoscopic technique.

Device Description
The ATMOS Scope is a flexible nasopharyngo laryngoscope for endoscopic diagnosis within the nasal lumens and airway anatomy.
The device is an electrical device and consists of a handle for the user and a flexible, steerable part that is inserted into the patient. The deflection lever can be easily operated with the thumb and enables precise control of the endoscope tip at an angle of 2 x 135°. This makes it easy to examine even hard-to-reach regions in the nose, or throat.
The device contains two integrated LED light sources that provide bright and homogeneous illumination in the complete field of view. With the help of a 1280 x 800-pixel image sensor at the flexible part and the electronics built into the handle, a digital image is generated.
For taking and saving photos and videos, the ATMOS Scope has two separate function keys located directly on the handle. This can be displayed as the endoscopic image on a connected PC with video software. The endoscopic image is used for visual diagnostics by the user.
The ATMOS Scope is delivered in a non-sterile condition.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Human factors testing: The human factors testing is conducted regarding to the dimensions of the applied part (length and diameter and deflection/angle measurement) and the particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of endoscopic equipment according to the standard IEC 60601-2-18 were successfully tested.
Optical performance test and photobiological safety of lamp system: An evaluation according to the standard IEC 62471:2006 was conducted and the used LEDs were classified in risk group 2. Additionally, due to the integrated optical light range of the LED is limited. Summarized all aspects considered and the measurements prove that the photobiological safety of the ATMOS Scope product is guaranteed and there is no risk as well as no hazard from the light source.
Sterilization validation: Both sterilization processes were validated by EN ISO 14937 (Annex D), AAMI TIR 12, and ANSI/AAMI ST79 and can be optionally conducted after one of the reprocessing methods. First sterilization process is using a Low-Temperature Hydrogen Peroxide Gas Sterilization Method. The second validated sterilization method is performed in the SYSTEM 1E Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System with standard liquid chemical sterilization (LCS) cycles using S40 Sterilant.
Biocompatibility evaluation: Biocompatibility evaluation of subject device ATMOS Scope was performed to comply with the specifications as per standard ISO 10993-1:2018 as well as the FDA Guidance Documents and the effectiveness of the biocompatibility of the ATMOS Scope.
Reprocessing Testing: The reprocessing method consists of a cleaning process conducted and validated by AAMI TIR 30: 2011 and a high-level disinfection process conducted and validated by ASTM E 1837-96 (2014). The manual cleaning process can be conducted by using the Dual enzymatic cleaning detergent MetriZyme (MetriSPONGE; company Metrex) or Cidezyme (ASP) and the manual high-level disinfection process by using the ready-to-use solution CIDEX OPA (ASP).
Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): To ensure safe operation of ATMOS Scope, tests were performed according to IEC 60601-1:2005. All clauses of this standard are evaluated and assessed in the corresponding risk assessment file. To measure the ability of ATMOS Scope to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbance to anything in that environment, Electromagnetic Compatibility Test according to IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 4.0 2014-02 was performed. With a risk-based approach required tests and acceptance criteria were defined.
Software Verification and Validation: Embedded software does not provide support for basic safety or essential performance. Failure of the software does not lead to a risk, therefore PEMS (IEC 60601-1 section 14) does not apply. Every firmware function was validated, and the requirements traceability matrix was documented to prove that requirements have been fulfilled. Digital image after generation can be displayed on a connected PC with any video software. Due to this requirement the USB connection was checked regarding their configuration, USB device name "ATMOS Scope" and used live image broadcast according to the USB Video Device Class Specification. Summarized all tests regarding to the firmware were passed successfully.
Key Results: Non-clinical, simulated use and human factors testing were performed to compare the performance of the subject device and the predicate device using identical inputs. Testing results demonstrated that the performance of the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device for each software, electrical and mechanical design specification.
